Do i have to wait to get views in MySQL 5?

Post by Paul Richards »

The functionality of views seem useful idea to me. I have read that this will be available in mysql 5. Does anyone have an alterative to this there using in 4.1?

Also does anyone know when a stable realise of 5.0 will be out? my server wont upgrade until this has happened! :evil:

The official release I believe is out. If you host doesn't want to move to it that's another problem altogether. Most hosts have not moved to PHP 5 as well so I wouldn't plan on using it in a shared environment for a while yet.

mysql 5 is stable.

It is the recommended version by MySQL team.

I always wait 6 month till I move to a new tree. That should have most of the security issues resolved ;)
